Ln = 0 to 255
Hn = 0 to 255 (MSB ignored)
Lp = 0 to 255
Hp = 0 to 255 (MSB ignored)
With this command, the printing position is adjusted absolutely in
the vertical direction to the current top of page or to a set top mar-
gin of the printing area in multiples of the current basic step size.
The parameters Ln and Hn specify the number of parameters follo-
wing this:
Hn = integer (number of characters / 256)
Ln = number of characters - (Hn * 256)
For this command, Hn = 0 and Ln = 2 must be set. With Ln + Hn *
256 < 2, this command is ignored. With Ln + Hn * 256 > 2, all Ln +
Hn * 256 -2 data following Pn are ignored.
The parameters Lp and Hp specify the absolute vertical distance of
the print position from the current top of page position or a set top
margin of the print area in multiples of the current basic step size
(1/360, 1/180, 1/120, 1/90, 1/72, 1/60). The initial setting of the
step size for this command is 1/360 inch.
